I have this dented set...looking for some one to restore them for me. How perfect can they get or will they always be wavy? I think they are stainless steel?

Poked them out from the back with a screwdriver handle, eh Jeff? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
Did that once, so I replaced it long ago. But, I'd bet you would need a very heavy stamping press to get those wrinkles out. Paul |
